For last few days I see that many of my domains have some clicks for last few days but there is 0 revenue fo them (not even 0.01). Same domains had about 0.50-2$ daily for last 6 or more months. It is not about 1 domain it's about 30+ domain in my account. Anyone else had this problem ?

It is not top 1%. 2500 domains earned like $200/day in the good old days. Low premium accounts started at 1k/day.

ok ok top 5%

he is definitely top 1% on np

Every day is spent waiting for Google's final decision. By the end of September, parked page revenue will drop to zero as all advertisers exit the program.

Final decision? I thought the decision has already been made. Could you please share more info on that or a link?

Well,
moment of truth,
wish us luck.

Adsense for Domains (AFD) Opt-Out

The advertiser opt-out that began back in February has finally begun to show a negative impact on revenue.

G's phased plan for opting advertisers out of parked domain traffic had, until now, shown negligible effects on revenue. Around the end of August, they began opting out large advertisers who were actively buying parked domain traffic. Since then, both traffic and search volume (first page clicks) have remained stable, while ad clicks have fallen precipitously, indicating the ad inventory has narrowed considerably. A quick look at the ads you're seeing on many of your keywords show that much of the remaining advertisers are run-of-network type advertisers who'll buy every click as long as they don't pay much for it.

What Happens Now?

The opt-out is on track to be completed by the end of Q3 (this month). The most valuable advertisers were evidently scheduled for the final phases, so we may or may not continue to see decline through the end of the month. The overall opt-back-in rate has been very low so far, but, until now, very few of the opted out advertisers were even buying parked domain traffic, so we still don't know how many advertisers will choose to rejoin the channel.

Our internal monitors have detected at least one category of advertisers (casual gaming) who appear to have opted back in. RPMs for those domains have recovered and even exceeded pre opt-out levels. I look forward to seeing that more often in the coming weeks.

We are in weekly discussions with G concerning the future of AFD. I have relayed the thoughtful concerns many of you have expressed to me about the viability of organic traffic being monetized via Related Search on Content (RSOC), and I'm mostly in agreement: the format of AFD is better suited to the visitor dynamics of type-in and expired domain traffic than RSOC's content-based format. They have heard our concerns, are taking them seriously, and still insist there are no plans to end the AFD channel. Q4 will give us much greater insight into what the organic domain traffic business will look like moving forward.

yep... thata the news I saw panda ... u know shit going south when CEO of park site says it sucks

I just joined panda month ago making 1us a day and was optimistic..

talk about timing lol

since panda has no bulk change for inquiry only page like bodis... I decided to go back to bodis now

I think this is it for alcy and parking marriage

10k in 5yr on bodis on a 1k total invest .. over some 20 names total.. was still good roi and gas money.

no regrets.
or only regret not to have the fun of checking click values daily hahahha

IMO newsletter does not bring anything new, just like the information on the ParkinCrew website. They confirm what we have been seeing for a month.

"We wanted to let you know that we’re aware of the recent drop in AFD earnings that began late last month and has continued into this month. Based on what we’re seeing, this appears to be the result of a large-scale advertiser opt-out that’s currently affecting ad demand and fill quality across the AFD channel.
This is a broader issue that’s impacting many partners across the space. We’re closely monitoring the situation and remain in active contact with our primary upstream advertising partner for updates.
To help manage the impact, we’ll begin rotating more traffic to alternative monetization solutions in the next weeks to offset negative impact"

...rotating more traffic to alternative monetization solutions...

...and that is what scares me the most: In their attempt to offset the damage I'm afraid they will accept questionable feeds.

I have already received a notice from the .in registry that one of my domains (which used a well-known parking service's NS at the time) served malware on the lander.
Never had that incident before and I have parked thousands of domains through the years.

Has anyone recently tested Above Maximizer? What results are they seeing now that Google ads have ended?

In what way?

If you refer to traffic and revenue then it should increase because MAX (and direct advertisers/zero click in general) should win over what G offers which is, currently, zero.

If you refer to RPM then it should lower due to the flood of traffic that will arrive now which will not be possible to get monetised due to the limited feeds of DA/ZC

I just moved a few hundred domains from GiantPanda that made < $1/mo as a test. Just to see what if any % of them pop above $1/mo renewal goal. I'll post an update in a month's time. DM me if I forget.

Okay—I'd be glad. I know Maximizer, but the results back when Google was working weren’t that good. I’m curious how it will perform now, when they’ll be buying the majority of the traffic. I also have over 4,000 domains and I’m really not sure whether to keep renewing them. In the past we built our own system where, instead of Google ads, we used affiliate links. The problem was we didn’t have enough ads. That’s where I see the future of parking if Google shuts it down.

I moved a small bunch of domains over to Above back in March and April when news first broke about the opt-outs.

There's clearly a certain type of buyer on maximizer, you just can't know for which domain. There's a handful of domains I have there that completely buy almost every visitor and never allows for bodis to even attempt their thing.
See attached what I mean.

You should blur domains as they can be baned for showing this stats.

I think this year is last for domain parking (still hope that i'm wrong).

Banned by who? Being transparent is bad now? We're all going through some shit right now. I'm trying to help and maybe get some feedback. I'm not gonna blur domain names.

I don't think, G know AFD is also a part of their revenue and G doing this only because they know AI impacting much on google searches..

Don't feel me wrong for me it is nice that You share, but if You check forums people never shares views/clicks on public as it was against google rules (same like adsense for websites) if i'm wrong please someone tell me

People usually don't share because they think it will expose their method of acquiring domains. I don't care about that.

But I have not seen any terms from google. And well, even if real, who cares right? lol. All of those domains make their $ from Maximizer.

Are the statistics still the same? Does the Above have other ad providers?

Heh, I didn't even remember that I had an account on Above :D I must have worn them a long time ago, but I didn't have anything from them.

 

[wreckingball]

I just did it yesterday. I set a reminder to check back on Oct 21st.
